“The effects of White Supremacy/Racism on our minds” - Racism Hold on America

By Evangelist Ron Davis, Minister of Christ, of the Kush Edifying Ministries

 

[Note: This speech on racism was given over 7 years ago to the Men’s ministry group of a religious organization.]

 

In times past early in the ministry, I gave a similar speech to this one to the then Spokesmen Club, called the Men Ministry group. At that time my “INTRO” included the incident of a crazed man, where in NY he boarded a commuter train and killed six persons and leaving 20 or more wounded.

 

(NOW BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER WITH THIS STORY - LET ME ASK YOU ONE QUESTION WHAT COLOR IS THE SHOOTER?).

 

Now, if you assumed in the beginning that this was a black man, then that’s why my speech is titled “The effects of White Supremacy/Racism on our minds”. The shooter name was Colon Ferguson out of Hicksville, NY; and he is a black man. He killed these people because of his perception that this society (or world) is racist. Now that speech dealt with the perception that produced hatred, which led to an evil deed (the goal of our enemy-Satan) by a Black person.

 

However, today since we have all this talk within our church leadership about racial reconciliation; I thought it would be good to revisit this matter again. Yet, this time I take this sin of racism from another angle. That is white supremacy, which is another evil perception that has caused untold evil and heinous deeds upon those who are deem deserving of death and this evil treatment. For it produces the ideal in the oppressor mind, which our Lord and Savior speaks of in John 16:2 saying, yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service”. Since, the beginning of the Romans rule we have as a Black people suffers from the results of this evil of the evil one and his workers. Today, we as a people of God must understand that these people still rule, for the Greeks and Romans were and is a white people willing to commit untold evil in the name of their god who has blinded them with his deceit. (Remember these chapters, Daniel 2; Rev.13 and 17 read them again).

 

Now, I could name thousands upon thousands of cruel and vicious evil deeds of those who believe they of superior to others. But let me deal with the reason “why” whites continued the physical slavery of Black people. This is the first lie that got us where we are today - this lie told by so-called men of GOD under the man-made religions of the universal church and her daughters. And that lie is this, that God cursed the Blacks turning them black and making them slaves to all non-blacks (white) by deceit they errorous interpreted the Scripture in Genesis 9. They taught this and many other deceptive doctrines of Satan. 

 

FROM this lie Satan caused whites to believe, that they were superior to Blacks and considered them less than human. (Remember Satan used this same lie to deceive the Nazis about the Jews and today the Neo-Nazis, the Skinheads, other branches of the white supremacy followers and sympathizers). Satan has led them (and own evil desires) to perpetrate some of the most heinous and evil crimes against humankind - all the while believing they are superior to others – and believing that God gave them this right to destroy all non-whites. They were and are doing all this in the name of God and their religion. Even now our enemy prepares his sons and daughters to commit mass murder against the oppressed, the poor and the people of God. For this is prophecy in the Holy Scriptures.

 

Now, let us understand that White Supremacy / Racism effects everyone mind both Black and white but especially our white brothers and sisters - for this attitude of superiority causes them to exalt themselves above others. Even those who claims to be Christians, denying the words of Holy Spirit in which says, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself”.  This sinful behavior and attitude of white superioity must be dealt with before true reconciliation can be made.

 

Why is it that our white brothers and sisters view themselves as superior to others?

 

First, it’s the lie perpetrated on this world by our common enemy Satan the evil one. As I said before in times past, I say again it all began when the universal churches claim that blacks were cursed black and their punishment for this was placement into slavery - and from this lie whites had an excuse for their evil deeds casting everything black as evil -and everything white as good.

 

IF you look in your dictionary black is defined as evil and dirty- and all evil or bad things are given the adjective black - black mail- black Monday - black death -blackball -black magic- black sheep - black market - etc. etc. etc.

 

AND white is defined as good- fair- right - just- etc. etc. etc. Now if you are a child hearing these things on a daily bases you develop a certain mind set; and that mindset is white supremacy.

 

THEN those are you who came into this church when it was teaching British Israelites - saying that all white people represented the lost tribes and those other churches in this world having similar doctrines. These doctrines only reinforced this society white supremacy ideology. And some members of this church organization were cruel and insulting to their Black brothers and sisters. 

 

However, we if we are truly led by the Spirit of Christ. I pray that none you are have disqualified yourself. For we, as Christians cannot have true reconciliation until we apply the Scripture that tells us to esteem others better than ourselves and not to exalt ourselves beyond measure - for God resists the proud and superior, and gives justice and refuge to the humble and lowly.

 

For true reconciliation is this: let us remember God prior to calling Cornelius into the Church; He had to deal with the effects of racism on Peter’s mind. How when Peter prayed he saw all these unclean and common animals and GOD, you know the story. God told Peter not to call any of HIS children whom He had cleaned unclean or common (this is the same mind set we have today with this White Supremacy’ mind in this country and the world or wherever these so-called superior people are). That is looking upon others, in case Black people as unclean and common less than the whites who are viewed as superior, even casting themselves in images claiming themselves to be God. (A blasphemous thing yet they justify themselves for this evil deed).

 

Let us, as Christians I pray put into practice the exhortation we receive in Philippians 2. Let us “esteem others better than” ourselves and look out “for the interests of others”; the Holy Spirit says to us today:

Philippians 2
Unity Through Humility
Love, Unity, and Humility Recommended
1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

 

Brothers and sisters - God will deal with the unbeliever and those who are deceived. But, I am here today to exhort you the believer if indeed you have the Spirit of our Savior in you - that in order for us to crucify our old mind we must understand that any ideal that whites are superior to others must be put to death by the renewing of our mind by the Spirit of God.  That as the Scripture says there is nothing good in us except the Spirit that God gave us - and when God calls us Holy He speaks of His own Spirit which He cause to dwell in us. As in Revalation12, Christ tells us Satan has deceived the whole world into believing that whites are superior to others and with many other things by using lies and misleading information. These lies are carried out in the printed materials (such as children books, school books, history books and other printed media and all other means of communication of our day) and picture and sound media devices. These devices are in the hands of the enemy of GOD and the people of God, and those who are oppressed and poor in this world. 

 

FROM childhood people are taught that whites did everything - that life began with the Greeks (WHEN THE BIBLE AND OTHER VERITABLE MATERIALS TELLS US OTHERWISE) - Children are shown all characters in the Bible as being white - including the so-called images of the Man Jesus Christ (which is blasphemy and idolatry)  - another method Satan uses to reinforce his deception and lie of white superiority. Because white supremacy is a sin, and it’s a sin that’s learned from childhood there are times when your mind follow this lie without you knowing you are doing it. Therefore at every thought that enters your mind you must test it against the sin of white supremacy - rejecting all thoughts that goes against the truth of God that we are all equal in the One Spirit of Jesus the Christ and our Father in heaven - and true racial reconciliation will not come about unless whites reject this lie in their mind - and view their black brothers and sisters as equal not only in the God’s eyes; but in their own eyes also - because we can quote Gal. 3:28 - but this is our test. Do we truly believe this truth that we are all equal in Christ? I mean do you reject the Holy Spirit when God says choose a black person for something, which he or she is more than qualified, but your own mind believes whites are always better than blacks (you know that bell curve thing)?

 

NOW let us recall why God had to deal with Peter’s superior attitude towards Gentiles - because this sin was so ingrained in Peter’s mind God had to come to Peter in a vision so that Peter would be able to overcome this deadly sin. Peter’s attitude towards Gentiles (those whom he deem as dogs un worthy of God’s grace) was the same as the attitude of white supremacy today. This same sin of supremacy arose again within Peter and even Barnabas in Galatians 2. Where we see Peter and Barnabas withdrawing from the Gentiles once James and the other Jews showed up. They feared their fellow Jews; therefore, you as white Christians must continue to address this attitude of white supremacy throughout your Christian journey, throughout your wandering in this wilderness of sin on this evil and adulterous planet. May the power of the Holy Spirit strengthen you. Again, I say remember that Cornelius in Peter’s mind was less than human. Why then do you think God showed Him the unclean animals? Yes, it was because Peter’s mindset was that they, the Gentiles, the Romans and Greeks were unclean and common not worthy of God’s calling to grace as he was.

 

Let examine ourselves as Peter did on his way to Cornelius, and as the Holy Spirit exhorts us in 2 Corinthians 13 when speaking of Christ Jesus:

2 Corinthians 13
4 For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you. 5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? -- unless indeed you are disqualified. 6 But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

 

IN CLOSING, let me say that true reconciliation is our calling (a ministry of reconciliation) but white supremacy is the enemy weapon- and goes against the reconciliation of God and with man. And we as ministers of this reconciliation are called upon as it says in 2 Corinthians 5:17-19, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation”. Therefore, let us not continue to act like mere men and women for we have the Spirit of Christ in us. Do not disqualify yourself for service in God’s ministry of reconciliation. Do not let the mindset of white supremacy prevail against the new Man in you. Do not quench the Spirit in you, for today if you will hear God’s call do not harden your heart as the Israelites did in the wilderness of sin.

 

We as Spirit-led Christians must as the humble Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. says (who laid down his life for his friends) that even though we must face the fiery trials and sufferings for our stand today and tomorrow.  We must live out the true meaning of this nation’s creed “we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal”, for from the one man Adam, God created all men. AND today God creates us as a new man through the second Adam the Man Jesus Christ who gives us this Ministry.
